Principal’s Message

“Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.” ― John Paul II

Easter Greetings and blessings to all our families. Our hope and prayer for you all is that you were able to celebrate this highlight of the Christian calendar with your families and that the reality of being Resurrection people will come to fruition in your lives over the next 12 months.

THANKS go to Mr Tuohey who ‘held the fort’ last week whilst both Mrs Campbell and Mr Morrell were out of the school. It was an amazingly busy week with A3 concert, First Reconciliation and Stations of the Cross to be organised. Thanks Mr Tuohey!

FIRST RECONCILIATION Congratulations to our Year 2 students and their families on receiving this Sacrament last week. It is a milestone in your spiritual journey and a significant event in the lives of families. Thanks also to our Year 2 teachers who prepared our students to receive this Sacrament for the first

time. Thanks also to those staff members who came along to support our students and their teachers. STATIONS OF THE CROSS Congratulations to all the Year 5 students who did a fantastic job with the Stations of the Cross last Thursday. They all carried out their roles well and should be proud of their efforts. Many thanks to the staff who contributed to the performance and to those parents and families who were able to attend. BUILDING GRANT We have been successful in our application to the Diocese for a building grant to carry out the renovation of the 100 block (Year 5 classrooms). We also applied to have the frosted glass windows replaced on the 600 (Years 3/4) and 500 (Year 6) blocks. We are extremely excited to have been successful in our application. As yet we are uncertain when these works will commence but we will continue to keep our parents informed when we receive further notification. Thanks must go to Mr Anthony Salmon, Mrs Renee Furore, Mr Richard Carnell, Mrs Janice Taylor and Mr Chris Piva who worked hard to prepare our submission - Thank you: your generosity and your wisdom are much appreciated.

Harrison Waide Mason Salvestro Tahlia Quinn & Doug McKenzie

Another eventful fortnight at St. Patrick’s with Harrison Waide swimming in Sydney at the Mackillop Trials. Harrison

finished first in the eight year old boys 50m freestyle, which now qualifies him for the State Carnival as a member of the

MacKillop Team. This is an amazing achievement for him. Fabulous achievement Harrison.

On the 27th of March a few Year 6 students headed to Wagga Wagga for the Diocesan Touch Trials. Emmerson Waide and

Nicolas Minato made it to possibles and probables which was a terrific effort. Mason Salvestro was selected as a member

of the Diocesan Touch Team. Congratulations Mason. He will now go to Canberra next term to play with the team.

Today, Tuesday the 3rd of April we have approximately 110 girls participating in a Girls Only Soccer Gala Day. The girls have

had an opportunity to develop skills and mix with other schools from the surrounding Griffith district. Congratulations to

Tahlia Quinn for winning the signed Matilda’s Guernsey. A very exciting way to end the day. Thank you to Doug McKenzie

for all his hard work and organisation. Thank you also to our Year 6 boys who stepped in to help at the last minute to assist

with refereeing and also a big thank you to the Wade High students who also came and assisted at the last minute. We

have all enjoyed a great day with perfect weather.

Thank you to all the parents who have supported their children and the school during events this term. It is greatly

appreciated. Well done to all the students and their achievements. A big thank you also to all the staff for their dedication

and support.

We look forward to more great sporting achievements in Term 2.

Have a great week,
